HOW TO: KIM KARDASHIAN'S EFFORTLESS TEXTURED WAVES

SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND THE WHOLENOT-TRYING-BUT-ACTUALLY-TRYINGLOOK IS IN — IN A BIG WAY. ONCE THE SUN COMES OUT FOR GOOD, I’M LOOKING FOR AN EFFORTLESS LOOK TO MATCH MY MOOD. THERE’S ALWAYS ONE BOSS BABE THAT I CAN COUNT ON FOR SOME HAIR INSPIRATION AND THAT IS THE ONE AND ONLY KIM KARDASHIAN. HATE HER OR LOVE HER, HER HAIR IS ALWAYS ON POINT. I DECIDED TO GO FOR KIM’S TEXTURED WAVE LOOK BECAUSE I CAN EASILY DRESS THAT UP WITH THE RIGHT SPRING OUTFIT OR WEAR IT OUT FOR A BRUNCH DATE. HERE ARE THE STEPS FOR THIS SUPER SIMPLE HAIRSTYLE!

HOW TO PREP:

FIRST, YOUR GOING TO WANT TO DAMP YOUR HAIR FOR A FRESH START. YOU’RE THEN GOING TO WANT TO MASSAGE IN A FEW DROPS OFMARRAKECH LIQUID GOLDTO THE ENDS OF YOUR HAIR TO HELP WITH THE TEXTURE. DEPENDING ON YOUR HAIR TEXTURE, YOU CAN EITHER DECIDE TO LET IT AIR DRY OR BLOW DRY, OR DRY YOUR HAIR USING A DIFFUSER.

WAVY HAIR:

WAVY HAIR COMES IN DIFFERENTS TEXTURES IN ITSELF. IF YOU HAVE A FRIZZIER TEXTURE, YOU SHOULD APPLY A SLIGHTLY LARGER AMOUNT OF THEMARRAKECH LIQUID GOLDTHROUGH THE ENDS OF YOUR HAIR WHILE IT IS STILL DAMP.

STRAIGHT HAIR:

IF YOU HAVE STRAIGHT HAIR AND IT’S USUALLY DIFFICULT TO HOLD A WAVE, ADD SOME SEA SALT SPRAY FOR TEXTURE AFTER YOU’VE BLOW DRIED IT. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS THELUSH SEA SPRAYFOR SOME EXTRA VOLUME. IT SMELLS SOOO GOOD!

CURLY HAIR:

IF YOUR HAIR IS NATURALLY CURLY, GO OVER YOUR HAIR WITH A STRAIGHTENER AFTER USING THE DIFFUSER. IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE PERFECT, BUT BE SURE YOUR ROOTS ARE STRAIGHT. THIS WILL HELP WITH CREATING THE WAVES IN YOUR HAIR.

NOW THAT ALL THAT ALL THE PREPARATION HAS BEEN DONE (PHEW), YOU’RE READY FOR THE HEATING TOOLS!

FOR A SIMPLE BEACH WAVE LOOK, YOUR BARREL SIZE SHOULD BE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THE LENGTH OF YOUR HAIR. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE SHORT HAIR, YOU MAY WANT TO USE A SMALLER BARREL, AND IF YOU HAVE LONGER HAIR YOU CAN AFFORD TO USE A LARGER BARREL. ONCE YOU’VE CHOSEN YOUR CURLING IRON, WRAP SOME PIECES YOUR HAIR AROUND THE BARREL OF THE CURLING IRON LIKE A WAND. CURL THE OTHER PIECES AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD WITH A CURLING IRON. ADDING DIFFERENT SIZES OF CURLS MAKES THE LOOK MUCH MORE NATURAL. SOME HAIR TEXTURES HOLD BEACH WAVES BETTER THAN OTHERS, BUT IT IS STILL A GOOD IDEA TO LIGHTLY SPRAY HAIRSPRAY ON THE WAVES TO MAKE SURE THEY LAST ALL DAY LONG.

THE FINAL STEP - TAKE A SELFIE! I’D LOVE TO SEE YOU GIRLS ROCKING THIS KIM K LOOK. DON’T FORGET TO THROW IN A SASSY HAIRFLIP TOO. ;) IT’S A MUST.
